Do monkeys have fingerprints?

Comments

Yes.

Yes, and more interesting, they also have tail prints! New World monkeys have a pad at the end of their tail, like a finger tip, and it too has an individual print. So if you get a capuchin to commit a crime with his tail, the fuzz will track him/her down!

That is the coolest thing I have ever heard.

Thank you for this bit of knowledge. I will treasure it.

Are you referring to real monkeys or really, really stupid people?

[ravensee.livejournal.com]

Now now now, that's not fair to the monkeys.

[ravensee.livejournal.com]

Not these ones. And they are far more intelligent than most people!

I'm pretty sure there's an Agatha Christie book where the detectives are confused by a monkey's fingerprints on a murder weapon.
